for the past 2 months, we’ve been having the summer of a lifetime. everyday perfect waves and perfect winds. everybody is super surfed out. it’s been hot, it’s been fun, and it’s been super satisfying. all my friends are super burnt out too. the lineups are friendly, surfers are smiling, and nobody is calling into work sick anymore. another swell today for the next 3 days. one part of me is so satisfied, but another part wants more. live life, live hawaii!

there is a new overnight sensation in the spear diving world. a bikini girl on the hunt. her name is Valentine Thomas and now the most popular women’s free diver in the internet world of spear diving. it’s amazing how you can make it big so fast using social media.

spearing a big GT at this size is pretty legit. especially when spearing it in the body because it will take you for the ride of your life. hold on or let go? this girl held on and has the photo to prove it.

i think it’s cool to see women hunting for dinner, especially in a bikini. gosh, it makes me want to dive again!

Back to Back NSSA National Championships!

super stoked pulling up to the beach early this morning and still seeing the full moon. the waves were glassy, the waves were overhead, and the waves were super consistent. another perfect surf day in hawaii! went surfing with my friend from japan and he surfed until he couldn’t paddle anymore. over 100 duck dives with rubbery arms. we surfed for almost 3 hours and we were hungry.

so this was our breakfast. a thick prime rib steak at 9:30am. i went home after and slept for 2 hours. haha.

with the light winds and solid everlasting south swells, this summer is by far the best summer i can remember. diamond head going off!

then i turn on the 6pm news and watch the sports headlines. OMG, headlines was about the Moniz Brothers. Josh Moniz winning the prestigious 2014 NSSA National Championships last year in california.

then brother Seth Moniz just winning the 2015 NSSA National Championships today in california. unbelievable!

they showed the highlights and Seth was ripping!

lightning fast surfing with big scores!

hey Seth, ever since you were 2 years old, i use to watch your older brothers picking on you. you were the smallest but a super fierce competitor. even though you were half the size of everybody else, you wouldn’t give up. i watched you grow up becoming very competitive, very smart, a very humble. i already predicted you will be a champion before you even started surfing so i’m not surprised at your big win today. i always believed in you and will still believe in you with everything you choose to do in life. take this win in your last amateur contest, and go out there and take down the big boys. i know you can, and i know you will. we are very proud of you and i’m sure all the hawaiians are too. thanks for bringing home the National Championship in your brothers footsteps. see you when you get back. another championship party i won’t miss.
